Regarding Jeremy Lin's invitation, Mao Jiaen said: "This is a very rare opportunity to prove that Jeremy Lin's influence in the NBA is still far-reaching. We fully support his involvement, not only as a personal achievement, but also as a positive exposure for the team. We are very proud of him and look forward to him being able to witness his basketball wisdom and leadership skills once again through this stage." ”
Due to Jeremy Lin's injury in the Eastern Super League before the Lunar New Year, although he is about to travel to the United States, the team said that during this period, he is still actively training for the thigh injury to ensure that his physical condition is maintained. He will fly to the United States after the Eastern Super League on February 12 to participate in the Rookie Challenge on February 14, US time, and will not affect his recovery from injury and subsequent events.
